Descriptive statistics of candidate reference gene expression patterns, as measured by BestKeeper.

aGenes with standard deviations [±Cp] > 1.00 are considered to have inconsistent expression patterns (3-oxoacyl-(Acyl-carrier protein) reductase and dck/dgk-like deoxyribonucleoside kinase). bBased on the standard deviations (SDs), genes can be ranked from most stably (lowest SD, importin subunit alpha and ubiquitin-associated /ts-n domain-containing protein) to least stably (highest SD, 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier protein) reductase) expressed.
